    Get your calories up for at least 400-500 and start lifting heavy.. My weight hasn't change for a month but I see great changes in BF. Clothes are getting really loose.

    Great advice! I will be returning to a normal amount of eating, but keeping my exercising routine the same. I think that should really help with this whole journey because there is no way I could do this for a long period of time.

    Here OP read this. I am not saying you should do exactly this but it might open your eyes to a new way of approaching this and you might find inspiration from this girls story.

    Her story had a LOT of similarities and was very inspiring. She looks great! I really enjoyed reading it. Although i don't think I could go full Palio, I love bread to much, but most pf her diet is pretty similar to what I eat now anyhow. She looks strong and healthy. Thats how I want to be. :) Thanks for that!

    Just a quick update, I raised my calories to 1,300 and also make sure to replace my them after a workout. I feel better than ever and am very optimistic about this journey. Thank you for all your advice and support.
